Most writers or crafters or just about anyone go through a spell of writers block. They sit in front of a blank page or a canvas and just stare, not knowing where to begin. It happens to everyone. However, when it seems to happen to me, it's not just writer's block, it's everything block.
For instance, my usual process for anything - crafting, writing, scrapbooking, cooking - is to mull around some ideas in the back of my head, until something great takes shape. Sometimes it really is something great, and sometimes only I think it's great. But it works for me. Other times, like the time I find myself in now, absolutely nothing happens.
Tomorrow, I'll be in New York, for the last 4 days I've been trying to decide on what to wear. I literally stood in my closet this evening for 20 minutes trying to make this decision. This isn't rocket science people! I like shopping. I have plenty to wear. I just can't decide on what piece I want to wear. After the clothes debacle, I proceeded to stand in front of my bookshelf for another 10 minutes because I need a book to read on the bus, but the ones I haven't read yet all look unappealing. I bought them. Apparently, they were appealing at some point. But not now.
I started to write a post in my head yesterday on my way home and another before I left work. Neither seem like great ideas right now. I can't even figure out exactly what I'm doing in New York tomorrow. What's happening to my brain? It's mush! The creativity I was so proud of last week has seemingly gone out the window...
I really hope it's back soon, because really. If it continues to take me this long to decide to wear each morning, I'll never get to work!
